Sorry if I offended you in any way, shape or form, I didn't mean it in that way. I often get people's sexes confused. And Bandteacher1 doesn't really have an indicator. I based your sex before solely on posts, and the mention of a husband made me think "maybe I've confused her for a guy", like what I did with AwwSugar, and a few others. I don't have a problem...

Christ on a bike, you're a teacher?

I don't think he'll take any offense, it's a recent and not exactly a widespread phenomenon (gay marriage I mean). He's from Massachusetts which is only one of 5 US states which allows same-sex marriages. ;)

Wow, same sex marriage isn't legal everywhere in the US? I'm shocked. Very shocked.

You're just an asshole

I type whicked fast, and I just don't proof it sometimes. But yes, I am. Luckily, teaching music, I don't need to spell too much. Most of what I write on my board(s) is from a score or otherwise.

Unfortunately, no, it's not. The US is a fairly young country, especially compared to England or Ireland or most European Countries that have been around for at least a thousand years. It takes time for a gov't to develope fair policies, and become balanced in world affairs. The US is a prime example of this. Before the US entered WWI or WWII, we were against entering those wars. We felt it was a "European Problem". However, in Veitnam, we were on the complete oppisate end of the scale, in that we jumped right in. Into a war we had no business entering, in my opinion.
However, I think that the other states'll come around. It just takes time.

Surely you are being sarcastic. The US is one of the most homophobic countries in the world...and we get constant **** for it.

G.ay rights are thankfully making their way...though, very slowly.

Er, no I'm not being sarcastic. I thought only a select few states were homophobic, and when they were homophobic, they were REALLY homophobic. I didn't realise the it was so homophobic to the extent that *** marriage wasn't legal. That's pretty appalling.

I agree completely...and yet again another person's opinion of the US has been knocked down that much more.

I view g.ay rights as this generation's civil rights movement.

Iowa is another state that recently allowed same-sex marriage. This is one of the good things about Iowa. :)

Same-sex marriage is *still* not legal on the federal level, so same-sex couples miss out on numerous rights and privileges granted to married couples under federal law in the U.S.

Incidentally, I wouldn't say the US is one of the most homophobic countries in the world. Quite the opposite. There are numerous countries where homosexuality is still illegal (even punishable by death).

gotta ask about this one



and can i please use this as a sig? hehehe

Yeah, you are right. I guess I shouldn't say one of the most...but it isn't the least by a long shot, either.

That's true. In many of the Middle Eastern countries, a same-sex relationship is a crime and I believe the only sentence is death. You can't get anymore homophobic than that. The US is far, far ahead of most places around the world - the government is not going to severely punish you because you're in a same-sex relationship or you're homosexual. Here in Canada, a couple of provinces have legalized g.ay marriage. Elton John even got married right here in Toronto because he couldn't do it anywhere else at the time!

Gay marriage is actually legal in the whole of Canada since 2005...;) Fourth country in the world to legalize it (and currently one of only 9). Yay Canada...:)

Adidasss was making a comment to someone who's post has since been deleted.

My comment was addressed to Adidasss to say he was correct in his assumption this person wouldn't last long.

So watch the abuse next time eh?

I hoped you would have gotten the reference, but I guess you haven't seen The Big Lebowski.

Connecticut legalized gay marriage... yay we're greaaaaaaat!

It is kind of sad that to have gay marriage legalized is considered good or forward thinking, when it should just be the norm.

Red: I marched in my high school band, my college band, and of course The Cadets D&BC. I've had flags hit my hand while I was playing. I had a flag smack me in the jaw, broke my jaw. I've tripped in potholes, and broken both ankles a couple of times each. I've broken both legs, at least twice. Both arms at least 4 times.

Blue: Um, sure? I don't see why not...

I would tend to agree. Everyone should have the opition to marry who they want, regardless of age, sex, or sexual orientation.

thanks, the extra H gave me a good laugh last night - i needed it haha

as for the accident i'm glad to hear it turned out to be over the course of years or decades as opposed to a major catastrophe but still that's harsher injuries than most hardcore TROO METUL types. both legs at least twice and the arms 4 times??? harsh :yikes:


i'm not against g.ay marriage but the way this got through Parliament is one of the more embarrassing elements of Canadian politics from the last few years. they were pulling MPs who were getting cancer treatments from hospitals to come in to vote on the motion, extending Parliament into their summer break, forcing MPs to be in Parliament from 9am until 11pm, basically whatever was necessary to win regardless of other opinions and views. most people weren't against granting the same legal rights, the biggest issue was the use of the term marriage.

it ended up passing very late on a Friday night about 5 minutes before adjourning for the day when the then governing Liberals noticed that an opposition MP had taken off early.

yes it went through Parliament. technically. i wouldn't call it a victory though. it was all Paul Martin wanting to thumb his nose to his detractors and playing King of Canada for as long as he could, any contentious issue would have sufficed, it just happened to be g.ay marriage. his attitude and ego got him promptly ousted from office (to the point of almost destroying the Liberal party) the following spring. the sponsorship scandal didn't really help them either though.

Every band has a clutz. I was the clutz in my day, haha. We marching in the 4th of July parade, my senior year, my last year marching with my high school band. Me and the other Drum Major, Jess, went to do one of our 'crowd pleasers', in that we would march sideways, facing each other, and throw our batons back and forth. Much like drill teams do. I tripped on a rock or something, and the quads were right behind us. One of the harnesses broke, right has he was sxtepping over me and the quad fell on my legs, broke them. I have fairly weak bones, but one He!! of an immune system. Irish blood is supprisingly strong against most illness. My Jr year, some idiot ran into my podium then ran over my arm with his band's golf cart. During the preview show for competitions. I have a MILLION of these stories.

I have but my mind is a bit stretched when it comes to movies I fell asleep halfway through watching about a decade ago.


and Withnail & I is much funnier.

Finally, someone else besides me who doesn't think The Big Lebowski is funny and not boring / something great to fall asleep to.

I literally thought I was the only one.
Seriously.

My ambition is to start a Big Lebowski Vs Withnail & I thread but I know I would lose even though Withnail kicks arse wherever it goes.

Wow I'm out of the loop :o: Yay Canada indeed!

Nope, you're not! I couldn't even finish that movie.

Man, you guys are so cool going against the grain like that. So indie.

Withnail & I is a really great movie though. I mean, I like Big Lebowski, but even so...

Big Lebowski did suck imo, so did Anchorman, Superbad, Pineapple Express

stupidddddddddd

01. I am half drunk right now. It's 6:30 AM and I am still drinking.
02. I am drinking the cheapest possible white wine.
03. I hate mustard, mayo and ketchup, but they are great when combined.

Why are you studying it then?

Because I am really good at it. I like Arabic but I hate the fact that many people from Arabic countries don't speak standard Arabic... It is ok, but not something I would like to do for a living. I would like to be a movie director, but it is impossible to enroll a film school in Serbia if you're not a child of an actor or director and I don't have money to study it abroad...

You ever consider the possibility that we just didn't like the movie and that everything we do doesn't involve a childish need to adopt the minority opinion for the sake of an image?

I know you're used to that in your adolescent world, but don't superimpose that on us.

I love The Big Lebowski.... (sure you couldn't have guessed)

but I liked Withnail & I a lot too. I didn't even think TBL was something "cool" to dislike.

For dads and children, it isnt

It's not unless you're someone like Rickenbacker.
Apparently, to him, you're an indie kid if you don't like something most other people like.
